May 2015, Neil Williams remarked:
Yesterday afternoon a poster appeared on Kirk Sandall
station saying no trains would be running on Monday or Tuesday.

According to anecdotal evidence on Twitter it is because they are de-
energising the OHLE. What?! Surely that means half of it will get
nicked?

Perhaps that's why VTEC is running a few trains, using HSTs only? But
why can't VTWC use their Voyagers?

Although GN appear to be running a few trains (and they only have EMUs):


Unsurprisingly, some Tube and all Overground services will also be
affected. From TfL's weekly mailing:

No Transport for London or London Underground staff will be on strike
and so the vast majority of our services will run as normal. However,
as some of these rely on Network Rail signals and power supply, if the
industrial action goes ahead, the following services will be affected
on Monday, Tuesday and into Wednesday morning:

• Bakerloo line: trains will not run north of Queen's
Park

• District line: there will be no service between
Wimbledon and Putney Bridge after 17:00 on Monday and all day Tuesday.
There will be no service between Turnham Green and Richmond all day on
Monday and Tuesday

• Waterloo & City line: no service

That doesn't have a service on Sundays and Bank Holidays but blame it
on the unions anyway ?


• London Overground: no services will run, except
between Dalston Junction and New Cross/New Cross Gate which will
operate from 08:00 and 13:00 on Monday and 08:00 and 17:00 on Tuesday
